Applications

In the context of food processing, a nonthermal plasma (NTP) is specifically an antimicrobial treatment being investigated for application to fruits, vegetables and other foods with fragile surfaces.
These foods are either not adequately sanitized or are otherwise unsuitable for treatment with chemicals, heat or other conventional food processing tools. The term cold plasma has been recently used as a convenient descriptor to distinguish the one-atmosphere, near room temperature plasma discharges from other plasmas, operating at hundreds or thousands of degrees above ambient (see Plasma (physics) § Temperatures). Within the context of food processing the term "cold" can potentially engender misleading images of refrigeration requirements as a part of the plasma treatment. However, in practice this confusion has not been an issue.

The method entails the steps involved in using electrical energy with a specific voltage, frequency and power from the ColdPlasmaGenerator (recently issued patent no. 9,999,452) and applying the coldplasma to the surgical margins to target cancer cells....

This allowed W7-X to contain a hotter and denser plasma... At that temperature, the hydrogen from the plasma will convert into helium releasing more energy than is required to heat up the plasma. Keeping the temperature up is crucial and that’s why the plasma needs to be kept away from the cold walls....

J-Plasma® is an advanced energy device combining Radiofrequency (RF) energy with the unique properties of cold helium plasma. Heliumplasma focuses RF energy for greater control of tissue effect, enabling a high level of precision and virtually eliminating unintended tissue trauma.
